I recently bought a 24 in LD Artar and I want to use it mainly for portraits with my 8x10. It has no shutter and I am either going to fix up an old Packard that came with an even older Kodak I bought a few years ago, or I am going to get the Grimes folks to put it in a new Copal shutter. I do most of my portraits indoors with available light, so shutter speeds of 1/8 or 1/4 are pretty typical. If I am correct, the Packard only goes to 1/25. Obviously, getting a modern Copal is an expensive option, so I am asking if there are any other alternatives.
